She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Old Xia has given him another difficult problem. Director Song slumped down in his office with a look of despair on his face.

Yesterday, at the end of the exchange meeting, amidst the near-fight between Director Li and Director Shao of the food factory, Grandma Xia told Director Song about the election.

Elections aren't out of the question, but applying to higher authorities is a bit of a hassle. When she told him this yesterday, their factory's deputy director, Tian, ​​was also there. Upon hearing this, he immediately refused, and Old Xia argued with him. The two of them almost became the second pair of leaders at the exchange conference to nearly come to blows.

Sorrow!

Factory Director Song looked out the window and lit a cigarette. He could secretly apply for the application himself, but that might cause objections from other leaders, who might then come to his office and make a scene, which would be very troublesome for him.

He secretly listed Old Lady Xia as the number one troublesome person in his factory, but the matter still needed to be resolved.

He thought about it and decided to help Grandma Xia fulfill her wish. Being proactive is better than doing nothing and holding everyone back; he secretly cursed Deputy Factory Director Tian a few more times in his heart.

Chen Xianghong and Yu Hongzhen have set a date to get married at the end of the month. Old Mrs. Xia plans to invite familiar people to a meal at her home. She doesn't care what Old Mr. Chen does.

Old Chen was also calculating their wedding date. When it was almost time, he planned to hire a master chef to host a banquet in the courtyard. After all, if she got married, everyone in the courtyard would probably come to help, just like when his second son remarried.

"Who should I invite? What kind of dishes should I buy? Should it be the same as the second son's?" Old Chen asked Yang Su, standing in the house.

Yang Su had no idea what the previous standards were, but if a daughter's wedding was on the same standard as a son's marriage, that would be too unfair.

Not only did Chen Xianghong not contribute a single penny to her dowry, but she also kept the bride price herself. Some time ago, she even encouraged Old Chen to ask for Chen Xianghong's bride price, but the old man, having heard from one of his sons that his ex-wife had spent a lot of money on his daughter's wedding and kept the bride price for herself, became resentful. He said that he earned more than that old woman, and if she didn't care about his daughter's bride price, he certainly wouldn't either.

Not only did he not care, he also spent a lot of money to prepare her dowry, which made Yang Su extremely angry.

Later, the money she had saved was swindled away by those two brats, and there has been no news of it since. It's probably gone forever. If it weren't for Old Chen really finding a job for his second son, and waiting for Chen Xianghong to get married so they could go over there, Yang Su would have really made a scene.

That's money!

Thinking about the job that Old Chen had told her in private, Yang Su was extremely satisfied. Most importantly, Old Chen would be responsible for both the favor and the money, so she didn't have to contribute anything, and of course, she couldn't afford to.

Because of this job, Yang Su didn't have any resentment towards Old Chen's desire to throw a big party for Chen Xianghong. The money she could contribute from her family's side of the party was only a fraction of what her son earned.

“Alright, let’s have a big celebration then. Xiang Hong is your only daughter, so she should have a grand wedding. And she’s marrying such a good man as Xiao Yu. Everyone should share in the joy.” Yang Su’s words were so reasonable that Old Chen felt completely at ease.

"Then I'd better hurry up and find a master chef. Xiang Hong's wedding day is an auspicious day, and if I go too late, I won't be able to book a good chef." Seeing that Yang Su didn't object and even seemed to agree, Old Chen immediately went back into the house to get the money and pay the deposit before he felt at ease.

He squatted inside the house, laboriously moving the bricks, and pulled out the familiar box. The thought that even after divorcing Xia Yue'e, he could still give Xiang Hong a grand wedding made Old Chen feel incredibly powerful.

He was calculating how much to pay as a deposit, how much to spend on groceries, and how much red paper to decorate the room where Xiang Bei would be staying. Although Xiang Bei was originally living in Xiang Hong's room, she would definitely be getting married from that room, so he would let Xiang Bei sleep in the living room.

He didn't care whether Chen Xiangbei was happy or not, and made the arrangements himself.

He rubbed his hands together and opened the box...

"what--"

Old Chen held the box, terrified. His money, where was his money?

Not a single penny was left; not a single penny was left for him.

Who stole his money? Old Chen was terrified, and his heart started pounding.

All the Chen family children had seen this box, but no one knew where he hid it. Before Old Mrs. Xia divorced him, he used these two places to hide some secret money and valuables. It was the most hidden place that even when the third son stole his clothes, he never found it. How could it have been stolen?

Old Chen really didn't want to suspect that Yang Su had stolen the money, but after thinking it over, only Yang Su knew that there was such a hidden place in his house. Although he had changed his location, if she were smart, she would naturally be able to find that there was more than one place to hide things in the house.

He had a change of heart, but he was still in a state of affection for Yang Su and could tolerate most of her problems, so he was afraid that asking her rashly might hurt their relationship. He knew Yang Su well; she was incredibly innocent and naive, and someone who liked him so much would never do such a thing.

Could it be because she was resentful that her second brother and his siblings took the four hundred-plus yuan from her before, which is why she decided to steal this money? How foolish! He said he would take responsibility for their future and treat them well, so why didn't she believe him and instead stole the money?

Old Chen gave Yang Su many reasons, just to find a reasonable explanation for her stealing money, so that he could clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile when questioning her later.

But he didn't seem to realize that he had already naturally concluded that Yang Su was the one who stole the money, without even needing the other party's answer.

He carried the box outside and shouted, "Yang Su!"

Yang Su left the room to chat with others while he was rummaging through the box. Although she had told herself not to worry about the money, she still couldn't stand seeing Old Chen spending money on Chen Xianghong, so she simply left.

Upon hearing Old Chen's voice, Yang Su felt extremely dissatisfied. She had already managed to hide, but this old man still wouldn't let her go. It would be even more troublesome if she couldn't stand it and they started arguing.

But since he had already shouted, it was only right and proper for Yang Su to respond, so he shouted back in the direction of his home.

Old Chen shouted for her to come back. Yang Su was unhappy but had no choice. She could only smile and tell the people she was chatting with that Old Chen couldn't be left alone, and then got up and went back.

She had no idea what had happened.
